IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — This was supposed to be the year that Iowa flourished under offensive coordinator Greg Davis. Three games in, the Hawkeyes look inept. Iowa (2-1) scored just 17 points against Ball State and Iowa State and is just 102nd out of 128 FBS teams in scoring at 21.7 points per game.

What’s troubling about those numbers is the Hawkeyes basically brought back their entire offense, and Davis is now in his third year calling plays for Iowa. Coach Kirk Ferentz reiterated his support for Davis on Tuesday as the Hawkeyes prepare for their toughest test yet, a date with unbeaten Pittsburgh (3-0) on Saturday.
